SteeevO Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) Went to the pomona, ca off road expo today.. found a guy that will make the adapters to bolt up an atlas, stak4x4, or any other t-case with that bolt pattern. doesn't need a minimum order but i want to get a feel for how many i should be thinking of making. who would be up for one of these? i will be returning to the expoin the morning to please reply ASAP .. i would just send the guy an e-mail but it's soo much easier to talk to the design guy face to face. let me know -Steven Edited June 7, 2007 by SteeevO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLApathy Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Im betting you would get a much better response on AC or N4W, im also betting that you know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeevO Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) Yup! poseted it there too! and for the record.. the adapter is for a t-case to replace the tx-10. Edited October 8, 2006 by SteeevO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Damn, that'd be really nice. Being able to use a 3.7:1(?) NP-something would make it a LOT cheaper to re-gear for real offroading. Keep us posted, (price estimate?) and get the guy's number! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeevO Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 $200 - $250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 That's a pretty damn decent price, as far as I know. Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 No kidding! Especially since potential cases (D300) can be found cheap. Is this the same guy that was interested in making an adapter over on Pirate or another guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeevO Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 this is a differnet one than on pirate. i just want to hawk the tx-10 and replace it with a dana300 or any other 6bolt t-case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeevO Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 release date is getting closer..... oh the suspense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) How far out are these? And any idea on price? I like this idea better than adding a D300 onto the TX10. Very very interested. EDIT: Nevermind, you already posted a price estimate above. Still want a time frame!!! Edited February 14, 2007 by tmorgan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Just being curious - I assume swapping the TC will mandate custom driveshafts, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yozsi Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Just being curious - I assume swapping the TC will mandate custom driveshafts, correct? not really, maybe just a different flange on the t/c side and/or sortening/lengthening the driveshaft.

tmorgan4 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Steeevo...need some more info! Not letting this drop off to page 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeevO Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 Unfortunately we'll be using custom driveshafts.... maybe a 2-piece but i'm trying to avoid it... it's looks like the adapters a 6 - 8 weeks out. i'll have more concrete details for you as we get closer to the release date.

sammyb33 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 still going to have to use a custom 2 piece?? cuz if so, im not interested anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeevO Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 yeah unfortunately we are still looking at having a 2-piece DS due to the fact that the 6-bolt t-cases are soo short... BUT!! some pathfinders came with a 2 piece from the factory so i'm thinking that people in a $$ crunch might be able to make that work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89_trailboss Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Im really interested. FYI, no pathfinders came with 2 peice driveshafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteeevO Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 some pathfinders did have a 2 piece DS.... i know this because mine had one when i was 2WD...it's still in the garage. but i'll keep posting more info as the release gets closer.

SteeevO Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Design is done. The adapter was stretched out to put t-case rear output at about the stock position. which also moved the front output back 3D CAD images will be avaliable shortly. Please E-mail me or PM me if you are seriously interested. We need to make atleast 5 on this first round to keep the cost down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeevO Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Heres the link! Now taking pre orders! Nissan 6-Bolt Transfercase Adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeevO Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 This project was reborn with the help of advance adapters and the adapter will be shipping very very soon. all the prototyping is done and the first final install will be taking place within the next few weeks! The main discusion is on the Rugged Rocks Forum found here:http://ruggedrocksoffroad.com/forum/index.php?topic=69.0 which is where i'd like to try and keep all the Q&A's but as alwys anyone can ask ?'s here or PM me. Here are a few pics of the Mock-Up (aka disregard any missing bolts & the fact that the T-case is empty ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Damn, that'd be really nice. Being able to use a 3.7:1(?) NP-something would make it a LOT cheaper to re-gear for real offroading. Keep us posted, (price estimate?) and get the guy's number! not really man.. i've gone both routes. To regear a TX-10 is 1000 bucks. A D300 is 300 (or more, depending on what kind of connections you have) An adaptor is going to be around 500-800 bucks. A flip kit is 300 bucks for the D300 Then the shifters, and twin sticking.. 300 bucks.. And this still leaves you with only 2.62:1. I'm going to be running Both. My final ratios are something like 51:1, 80:1, 211:1 (t-case = 3.7:1, 2.62:1, and then those two doubled up) I have a doubler adaptor thats on order, and supposed to be finished today.
